The forklift is one of the most versatile, hardworking vehicles in any industry.  Modern forklifts are workhorses with a lot of power, agility and excellent handling capabilities for loads and superior performance on the job.

There’s another side to this story – The modern forklifts are so good because they have excellent, highly efficient, high capacity power systems. They can deliver their fantastic lifting performance thanks to their big batteries.

Defining Good Forklift Batteries

A good forklift battery needs to meet certain expectations, such as:

• being super tough and durable, made for years of hard work
• incorporating modern systems, with chargers and maintenance accessories
• meeting excellent charging capabilities, including monitored power curves, protective features, and more
• having new power options, like traction batteries, power conversion and Multi-Frequency Chargers (MFCs) for “custom” charging needs

These new generation forklift batteries are real thoroughbreds; you’ll get excellent value and performance from them. That’s why you need to do your homework about choosing a new battery for your forklift.

Considerations include:

Adequate Power to Meet the Specifications of the Vehicle
